Yunxiao Palace.

"My son, please see your Majesty."

Taiqing Li Jingyao walked slowly into the hall and saluted respectfully.

"Get flat."

The empress nodded and raised her hand slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Jingyao cupped her hands in thanks and stood up slowly, with a soft smile on her face. She looked gentle and pleasant, and her movements were somewhat like the empress's youthful appearance.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

The empress asked softly with a satisfied smile on her face, and the anger between her eyebrows gradually dissipated.

In the entire palace, the empress almost only shows her virtuous side in front of her daughter Li Jingyao, and the emperor's majesty will be appropriately restrained, perhaps because Li Jingyao is her most valued person and the next emperor.

the heir of.

"I heard that Lan Ying, under the command of Leng Zhenfu, was killed in the Jiuyou Realm. It seemed to be related to the Wuji Tower in the Jiuyou Realm, so I came here to take a look and see if there is anything I can do to help."

Li Jingyao glanced at Leng Yue who was kneeling on the ground, smiled and said.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am flattered."

When Leng Yue heard this, she hurriedly raised her hands and saluted, with a grateful look on her face.

"Your Majesty, Leng Zhenfu, is serious. You are His Majesty's most trusted person, and the Department of Five Elements is a confidential department in the court. As the Supreme Minister, how can I stand by and watch."

Li Jingyao turned to look at Leng Yue and said sincerely.

"What? You want to get involved in this?"

The empress looked at her daughter and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I do have this intention."

"I wonder if this matter has been confirmed to be related to Wuji Tower? Has any evidence been found?"

Li Jingyao smiled and cupped her hands and asked slowly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, no evidence has been found, but I can almost conclude that this matter is definitely related to Wuji Tower."

Leng Yue cupped her hands and said confidently.

"almost?"

"That means there is no evidence. Does Leng Zhenfu always rely on conjecture to resolve cases?"

Li Jingyao looked at Leng Yue again, with curiosity on her face.

"this..."

When Leng Yue heard this, she didn't know how to answer for a while and fell into a dilemma.

"Jing'er, what do you think?"

The empress smiled and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Reporting to your majesty, I have long heard that there is a Wuji Tower in the Jiuyou Realm. In less than half a month, it has become famous in the capital. Everyone knows that there is also a Wuji Young Master in the building. He has a dignified appearance and extraordinary behavior. I heard that he can also play the piano.

He is so good at playing the piano that he is even called the Immortal of the Qin, and I have long wanted to see it."

Li Jingyao bowed her hands to the empress and smiled sweetly.

"Oh? Is this the case?"

When the empress heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at Leng Yue curiously.

"Reporting to the Empress, there are indeed such rumors."

Leng Yue frowned and told the truth.

"Even the envoy of Leng Town has said it, which means that this is definitely the case. In this case, I am willing to go there in person. If this person really kills Lan Ying, I will capture him immediately!"

"But if this person is wrongly accused, then there is no need for the Five Elements Division to come forward. If he has some talent and learning, he may be able to serve the court."

Li Jingyao bowed slightly and took the initiative to invite her, her face full of piety.

"The Jiuyou Realm is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. It is not a good place. As a Taiqing, how can you go to that dirty place?"

The empress hesitated for a moment and said thoughtfully.

"If this person is really talented, wouldn't it be a pity to abandon him? Don't worry, I will bring more people with me when I go, and everything will be fine."

Li Jingyao said confidently.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Taiqing has a noble status, how can he be involved in danger? If Mr. Wuji is really Li Wuji, I am afraid it will threaten Taiqing's safety."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that Pang Xun is following... Before Pang Xun became the national preceptor, he was a man in the world and was very good at the art of disguise. Li Wuji was deeply taught by Pang Xun in the heavenly prison.

I suspect that Mr. Wuji whom Lan Ying saw that day was Li Wuji’s disguise!"

Seeing that the empress was about to agree to Li Jingyao's request, Leng Yue hurriedly spoke again.

However, in a moment of desperation, he almost blurted out the word "late emperor". After realizing the slip of his tongue, he quickly changed his words, otherwise he would surely arouse the wrath of the empress.

In today's court, speeches such as those made by the late emperor, prince, and grandson are strictly prohibited. Once someone makes a mistake, it will definitely lead to disaster.

"Leng Zhenfu! I just said that I would go to Wuji Tower to find out in person. What do you mean by this?!"

"The Department of Five Elements has been tracking Li Wuji for many days, but has there been any progress?! I'm afraid they still have no clue yet?! And one after another, subordinates have died in the Nine Nether Realm. How many more people do you want to die?!"

"In other words, you don't believe that I can do the job?!"

After listening to Leng Yue's words, Li Jingyao turned to look at Leng Yue and asked dissatisfiedly before the empress could speak. The gentle smile on her face slowly disappeared.

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

Leng Yue shrank her neck and hurriedly defended herself.

"Okay, since Jing'er wants to share my worries, I'll leave this matter to you, but you must pay attention to safety."

The empress waved her hand to stop the two arguing and spoke slowly.

"Wei Chen is willing to lead the Five Elements Division to accompany you and protect your highness, Taiqing!"

Leng Yue hurriedly asked for instructions.

"No need! The personal guards under my command are not vegetarians, so I won't bother Leng Zhenfu."

Li Jingyao shook her head to express her refusal, and the gentle smile reappeared on her face.

After listening to Li Jingyao's words, Leng Yue lowered her head and said nothing, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

She knew that Li Jingyao might not be going here to track down Li Wuji, but to go after Master Wuji.

As we all know, in this palace, Li Jingyao's preferences are almost the same as those of the empress, especially when it comes to attracting male favors.

In the entire East Palace, there were countless male favorites who were taken under Li Jingyao's command, and all of them were talented, capable of singing and dancing.

If Mr. Wuji once falls in love with Taiqing and wants to move Wuji Tower, it may not be that easy.

...

Prince's Mansion.

Lin Wang Liyuan was sitting in the garden pavilion, playing with the caged bird, and was very happy.

Several maids and maids stood aside respectfully, some serving tea, and some holding porcelain plates with various fruits and snacks in their hands, serving them closely.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Pang Mo, the general manager of the palace, slowly walked to the pavilion and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, another interesting thing happened in Jiuyou Realm yesterday, and it related to the Five Elements Department."

Pang Mo saluted and said with a smile, with a hint of schadenfreude on his lips.

"Oh? Interesting fact?"

"Tell me and listen."

Li Yuan tilted his head and glanced at Pang Mo, then continued to tease the caged bird and said with great interest.

"I heard that Lan Ying, under the command of the governor Leng Yue, was suddenly assassinated while performing a mission in the Nine Nether Realm. There were eighteen people in total, and no one survived."

Pang Mo cupped his hands and deliberately lowered his voice.

"How could such a thing happen? Who is so bold? How dare he offend the Five Elements Division?"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, he stopped what he was doing, and asked enthusiastically.

"It seems that the origin of the murderer has not been found, but there are rumors today that Lan Ying went to Wuji Tower before he was killed, and there was a conflict between the two parties. People are speculating that this matter may be related to Wuji Tower. Now

The news has spread a lot, and everyone is curious about who Master Wuji is."

Pang Mo continued.

"It seems that this person is going to be in bad luck."

Li Yuan shook his head and said with some regret.
